  1. Restoration Design Incorporating Design and Project Management into Restoration Practice

  2. Kern Ewing and Jim Fridley • Restoration Ecology and Environmental Horticulture Program • University of Washington, Seattle http://www.cfr.washington.edu/classes.cfr.302/

  3. Why design and project management? • To efficiently use time and resources • To make sure you make deadlines and hit windows • To make sure everything is done • To communicate with clients, regulators • To budget • To document your work • To come up with better solutions

  4. Design

  5. Design stages: • Identification of need • Problem framing • Setting design requirements and constraints • Synthesis of design parameters • Approval and acceptance • Implementation • Assessment and adjustment

  6. Stakeholders • Problem owner (client) • Those responsible for proposing or initiating action (design team) • Those who implement solutions (workers) • Those who may benefit from, or be injured by, proposed actions (affected persons) • Potential blockers (activists, regulators, bureaucrats, manager).

  7. Time Progress along design sequence Steps Implementation

  8. Design stages: • Identification of need • Problem framing • Setting design requirements and constraints • Synthesis of design parameters • Approval and acceptance • Implementation • Assessment and adjustment

  9. Design stages (1): identification of need • Assigned problems • Self-identified problems

  10. Get a concise description of project in words of stakeholders. • Communicate a concise restatement of project in words of design team (Active Listening)

  11. Design stages (2): problem framing • Dominating Perspective or Viewpoint • Establish Policy & System Level Functional Requirements and Constraints • Set Tolerance and Acceptance Criteria • Identify Top Level Constraint Owners (Stakeholders) • Identify Collaborators for Concurrent Design

  12. Design stages (3): setting design requirements and constraints

  13. Functional Requirements (FR’s) • Functional Objectives Stated in Solution-Neutral Terms Constraints (C’s) • Limitations on Designer Freedom • All C’s Must Be Owned by a Stakeholder

  14. Constraints • Constraint Owner • No more than… • At least… • Without… • Limits, bounds • Functional Requirements • Problem Owner • Provide … • Increase … • Decrease ... • Don’t have but want or need

  15. Design stages (4): Synthesis of design parameters • Iterative: you go back and forth between stages 3 and 4.

  16. Design is done when: • Persons of ordinary skill can implement the solution so that it performs the desired functions. • The solution does not violate constraints.

  17. Project management

  18. Goal of project management: • Achieve better outcomes • Meet FR’s • Not violate C’s • Stay within budget • Complete project within a pre-determined time

  19. Planning and sequencing • Identify tasks • Identify precedence relationships (A must precede B) • Estimate task durations • Sequence the tasks to meet precedence requirement

  20. Task list • Tasks might be: Plan for vegetation Plant site Condition site Remove invasive plants Purchase seed Select and propagate Replace dead plants Monitor installation Develop succession management plan Install large woody debris Control for human activity

  21. Determine Precedence Generate a table that shows, for each task, what tasks must precede and what tasks must follow. BPA project example at right.

  22. Network Diagram

  23. Look at the project sequencing as a diagram with circles and arrows: Start Finish Condition Site Start Finish Plant Site Start Finish/Start Finish Condition Site Plant Site

  24. Example network diagram (BPA right of way)

  25. Determine Precedence Generate a table that shows, for each task, what tasks must precede and what tasks must follow. BPA project example at right.
